Natural Law.

As Christians we have always insisted that there is a Natural Law.  The best and easiest definition of Natural Law is found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  It says that,

“present in the heart of each man and established by reason.” This law “is universal in its precepts and its authority extends to all men. It expresses the dignity of the person and determines the basis for his fundamental rights and duties.”

Natural Law provides the ground and foundation to build moral truths that will inform our life together if we hope to be a truly just and free society. In Natural Law we find fundamental and foundational human rights which we insist must be recognized by all civil or positive law as rightfully belonging to all men and women.
